Biostat Celox Rapid Z-Folded Gauze – Rapid Bleeding Control in Emergencies

Overview

Biostat Celox Rapid Z-Folded Gauze is engineered for quick response in severe bleeding scenarios. The compact z-folded design keeps the gauze easy to locate and deploy in high-pressure moments, with a 3" x 5' strip (7.6 cm x 1.5 m) housed in a lightweight pack. Size and weight are optimized for fast handling and portability in professional gear or field kits.

What makes Celox Rapid notable

• Designed to address severe high-pressure bleeding, including arterial and venous wounds.
• Formation of an adhesive gel that helps seal the wound as pressure is applied.
• Compact z-folded format supports one-handed use and easy carry in busy environments.
• Independent in vivo testing reports 100% success in achieving hemostasis and reduced blood loss compared with other treatments.
• In casualty evacuation simulations, achieved 100% successful transport without re-bleeding.

The product is referenced by NSN 6510-01-623-9903 and is packaged for practical, on-the-go accessibility. While testing highlights strong performance under controlled conditions, users should consider all safety and procedural guidelines when applying gauze in real-world settings.

How it works and how to use

When applied with one minute of compression, Celox Rapid is reported to help control severe bleeding through a gel-seal mechanism that adheres to the wound surface. This combination of material action and targeted pressure is designed to support rapid initial control, particularly in challenging wound conditions. Real-world results can vary based on factors such as wound type, blood flow, and responder technique.
